English actress Madeleine Carroll (1906 – 1987) – the original “Hitchcock Blonde” – sitting cross-legged on a wooden porch stoop, palm over her chin, dressed in a light, summer skirt. Known for her sophisticated manner and reserved British style, she appeared in more than 36 films, the last in 1949. Among her many film credits were “The Prisoner of Zenda” in 1937, “Cafe Society” in 1939, “One Night in Lisbon” in 1941 and “My Favorite Blonde” in 1942. Raised by a strict and domineering father, she dreamed of breaking away from her dreary life and got her chance after a theater producer spotted her on the beach in Brighton, England. That led to a job as leading lady of a road company for about $12 a week and shortly thereafter she won a studio search for “the perfect” British girl. She became active in war relief during World War II, converting her French chateau into an orphanage in 1940 to which she devoted much of her time throughout the war. Her sister was killed during the German bombing of London, and a few months later, in 1941, Miss Carroll became the first woman living in the United States to volunteer for a new Red Cross program that enlisted women as nursing aides. She later received the civilian Medal of Freedom from the United States, and was inducted into the French Legion of Honor because of her work overseas during the war. After her divorce in 1946 from Hayden, Miss Carroll married a French Resistance leader, Henri Lavorel. After a six-year absence from the screen because of her effort in the war, she returned to Hollywood to star in “An Innocent Affair” with Fred MacMurray in 1948. She was a favorite of Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper, who said that Miss Carroll’s “soft and appealing femininity conceal a smart and sophisticated brain” and credited the actress with having “the spirit and stomach of a soldier.”

Madeleine Carroll as Princess Flavia in "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937). Her blonde hair is done up in a braid at the top of her head; she wears an off-the-shoulder white gown accessorized by white kid opera-length gloves, a double-strand diamond necklace, two bracelets on her left wrist, and a dark-fur sash draped from her right shoulder to her left hip
